Playing an Egyptian arched harp

Description

The Ancient Egyptian arched harp was also called a bow harp or angular harp. This specific image was referenced from an image from the tomb of Amenemhet, Beni Hasan, 12th Dynasty, c. 1850 BCE.
My references can be found here:

I coloured it using bistre (to be specific, this one) and drew the lines with red ink. I still need some practice with these materials XD But at least drawing the lines with ink works very well.
